Laying on the board sounds like a great way to surf! I fell so many times trying to stand up! I ended up with two huge bruises - one on my foot and one on my knee from slamming into the sand. Thankfully the wetsuit protected me from getting scraped.

Mr Sans was one - all through his teens and twenties he surfed every weekend.che still did it regularly in his early thirties but then we had kids and lived too far from the beach. And when you visit the beach with little ones you need your wits about you. Mr Sans would always be on life saver duty with our kids - he can swim much better than me, I'd struggle to save my own life let alone another bod. I did lie on Mr Sans' surf board once. God, it went fast. I flipped off, board hit me in the elbow and I had an egg-sized lump. Enough for me! But well done you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-36513237839678554552014-07-04T12:41:23.628-04:002014-07-04T12:41:23.628-04:00Thanks Fiona!

Congrats on your anniversary and also on 'getting up' on the board with surfing. I haven't tried surfing but found it nearly impossible to get up to water ski (many years ago!) so I can imagine how difficult surfing must be. The live taping sounds like a great holiday idea!Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-91417681764026614342014-07-03T18:51:00.259-04:002014-07-03T18:51:00.259-04:00Can't wait to hear how your surfing goes!

It will be great to share the experience with your friend :) You may also want to check out a video of someone getting up - I spent most of the lesson learning that move, so if you can practice ahead of time, it will probably save you some trouble. This is how I learned:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9cEV1xjuw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9cEV1xjuw</a><br /><br />Oh, that's a bummer about Oprah.

Thankfully a friend stopped by my blog recently, so now I have someone to do it with too!<br /><br />I've been to a live taping of a show on our national broadcaster all about advertising. The host is a comedian, so it's pretty witty and enjoyable. I'm trying to think if I've seen other shows taped, but I don't think so. Back in the day, I had hoped to see Oprah in Chicago, but now life's not the same...SarahN @ livetolisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429385342825413879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151457747314880879.post-9660932578874890062014-07-02T20:04:12.362-04:002014-07-02T20:04:12.362-04:00Thanks Dar!
